Berman: NBA G League season in jeopardy?

Quoting “industry sources,” Marc Berman of the Post reports that the NBA’s G League season may not take place.

[T]here have been discussions of various scenarios for a G-League campaign, including not holding one at all and expanding NBA rosters instead.

One plan could feature having a handful of week-long G-League showcases in a bubble setting to ensure young players stay active. If a more normalized G-League season is attempted, sources said it would have to be with a regionalized schedule to reduce travel.

One big issue, Berman notes, is the G League’s reliance on commercial air travel and even busses, deemed far riskier

He added that one possibility, advocated by agents, is an expansion of NBA rosters from 15 to 17, eliminating the two two-way slots that have proven so successful for the Nets.
